Chip - As a former PSU athlete, student, second mile volunteer, resident of State College - I have never, ever heard anyone state that they thought js was “gay”...that’s a non-starter.
js’s image around town was that of reverence because of the second mile. Everyone was fooled - which is why Clemente put him in the top 1% of deceivers/child molesters.
I don’t know how long he has had them but he has many of the mannerisms of a gay man.
Furthermore he is given a sweetheart retirement deal by a university president who said that he wanted to make Penn State the most gay friendly university in the country.
He didn’t molest young girls did he — just young boys.
People at “gay friendly” Penn State were probably taught to overlook things like that and see what it cost them.
